Our Commercial Appraisal Reports
WestRock’s commercial appraisal reports are based on several factors. For office buildings, it requires looking at data from several different angles to formulate an accurate valuation. Any commercial building appraisal will be a result of these three approaches to provide the foundation for this quantitative data analysis:
- Market Approach: A method that values an asset based on sales of a comparable property. Also known as the sales comparison approach, it tracks recently completed sales of similar properties to determine a property’s current market appeal.
- Cost Approach: A method that values a property based on the replacement cost of constructing a similar property, minus depreciation, plus the site’s value.
